How to choose a copper of heating

With approach of colds by topical issue there is a choice of a copper of heating. And to make a start here it is best of all from own requirements. After all the decision, equally good for all, simply does not exist.

As to choose the best heating copper for your house? Let’s listen to councils of professionals.

To understand, what heating coppers it is better, it is necessary to familiarize with their classification by the main signs. So, there are following options.

1. Selection of a copper of heating for a way of its installation.

What heating copper is better – floor or hinged? Start with room dimensions.

The floor unit is capable to warm even very spacious living space. It is the best heating copper for a private cottage or a townhouse.

That to hinged devices, these types of coppers of heating are compact and consequently are excellent for small rooms, where «on the account» each square meter – for example, for kitchens.

The hinged equipment has capacity restriction to 35 kW. It will suffice for the house in the area about 320 sq.m. But if to mount two such devices, their capacity will suffice on twice bigger house.

2. Device choice by the form energy carrier.

If near your housing passes the highway, the best copper of heating becomes gas. It will help to warm even the big area of housing. However gas types of coppers of heating demand flue and ventilation arrangement.

There are also liquid-fuel types of heating coppers working at diesel fuel, kerosene, fuel oil. They are productive, but possess such shortcomings, as noise in operating time and dependence on the electric power. But also, diesel types of heating coppers is always floor devices. They cannot be hung up on a wall and to release useful space, after all it is large-sized heating coppers.

How to choose the unit from the point of view of its "legality"? Official coordination in civil services will be not not demanded by the diesel device. Any permissions and references – it is possible to establish it at any time and on any object.

Exist today and solid propellant coppers of heating. They work at firewood, coke, coal, peat briquettes. Such equipment is suitable for small objects – for example, one-storeyed country houses.

Despite new generation of solid propellant devices of more comfortable use, this equipment nevertheless demands continuous presence of the person. After all it is periodically necessary to enclose fuel and to clear the formed ashes.

Is today and the combined coppers which accept more than one type of fuel. Let’s tell, dizelnoye+gazoobrazny or gazoobraznoye+tverdotoplivny. For change of the burned energy carrier it is enough to change a torch only.

3. Selection of the device for a way of heating of water.

By this criterion coppers share on one-planimetric and double-circuit. Thinking of what coppers of heating it is better, wonder: whether it is necessary to your house not only heating, but also hot water supply? If yes, that it is possible to provide hot water in two ways. First, to buy the one-planimetric device and then to attach to it the water-heating equipment. Secondly, at once to make a choice for a double-circuit copper. In a warm season function of heating of a room in it can be disconnected, having left only water-heating function.

4. A choice of a copper of heating on a heat exchanger material (cast iron, steel, "stainless steel").

The optimum option considered cast iron as it is not subject to corrosion. However this material is sensitive to blows and jumps of temperatures. That to steel, it more shock-resistant, but burns through quicker. Besides, steel is subject to corrosion (if only it not an up-to-date copper with the heat exchanger from the alloyed or stainless steel).

Having estimated the pleasant coppers by these criteria, you will easily pick up for yourselves optimum option. Successful to you choice and warm house!
